nice and casual dinner, with interesting flavors and some classic dishes done very well. The pigeon as well as the pithiviers were fantastic.
Full account of the dinner is here: http://www.diarygrowingboy.com/2018/07/europe-2018-day-7-clowning-around-with.html

As good as it gets outside Japan when it comes to the nigiri.
For my taste the fish during the Otsumami is always slightly cooked too long. As he does it consistently Chef Shion Uino’s taste seems to be different to mine. Nevertheless this does not deduct from a really good meal.

For quite some time Saito-san is considered by many the pinaccle of Edo mae sushi.
His long term apprentice, disciple and friend Uino-san who for years was in charge of the shari and did the nigiri at the private counter at Sushi Saito is now running very successfully Sushi Amane in New York. Given the import restrictions to the US from other countries he does a phenomenal job.
I have had 6 meals from both of them, three from the Master and three from the Disciple, some of them in rapid succession so it was possible to compare fresh memories and taste.
For me on balance the Master still holds an edge. The shari obviously is exactly the same, but somehow the Master's technique in pressing the rice creates a somewhat tenser nigiri and thus for me a better texture. Less
